Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach, California

Ocean-facing facade lit at dusk under a deep blue sky

A house that rises out of a berm of sea grasses on The Strand. Cedar ceilings, an indoor lap pool, a spiral stair in a planted court and timber louvers that open whole rooms to the beach.

Coastal work is decided by exposure. Salt, sun and wind sit on every surface from the first day. Finishes here are chosen for how they age, not only for how they look when the scaffolding comes down.
